Turning water into wine?


Well, to be honest, the heart shaped lights have seen better days. But they seem to be the correct ones for the car, without holes in the bottom. That had to be when they were new, because mother nature has supplied some natural holes over the years. The ready painted light was in far worse condition than the untouched one on the left. I put it in citrus acid, and the solid material left was not much. I built the bottom part from epoxy-metal, and it looks to be solid and usable for the purpose. Then a little filler and primer, and that was it. Not nearly NOS, but they will serve their duty on the car for some more years.
